Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure on Friday apologised on behalf of his agent for controversial comments which led to his exclusion from the Premier League team. Manager Pep Guardiola has refused to pick Toure since Dimitri Seluk claimed the midfielder had been "humiliated" by his omission from the club's Champions League squad in early September.
Guardiola insisted Seluk apologise before he would consider the 33-year-old Ivorian for selection again. In a statement published on Facebook, Toure said: "I wish to apologise - on behalf of myself and those who represent me - to the management team and all those working at the club for the misunderstandings from the past. "Those statements do not represent my views on the club or the people who work there.
